Summary

A 33-year-old woman known to have tetralogy of Fallot and a straddling tricuspid valve had bilateral systemic-to-pulmonary arterial shunts constructed at the age of six months. She subsequently developed infundibular atresia. Antegrade flow of blood from the right ventricle to pulmonary trunk was re-established by percutaneous laser perforation of the outflow tract, later followed by implantation of a stent.
